Bongos2  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 1.10.1
by: Tuller [More]

I have written a new action bar addon, called Dominos, and am no longer supporting this one. Please feel free to try it out, along with Trinity Bars, and Bartender 3


Bongos is an action bar replacement designed to be both low memory, and easy to setup. It is not as feature rich as other bar mods, but should include the features most commonly used.

Version History
A Brief Guide

Included Addons

  • Bongos2: The core addon.
  • Bongos2 ActionBar: Breaks up the main action bar into movable parts
  • Bongos2 Stats: A display for latency, framerate, and memory usage
  • Bongos2 RollBar: Makes the frame for rolling on items movable
  • Bongos2 CastBar: A movable casting bar, with the ability to show cast time
  • Bongos2 XP: A movable experience bar
  • Bongos2 MapBar: A movable mapbar
  • Bongos2 Options: A dynamically loaded options menu for Bongos

Features
  • Every Bongos bar can be moved, hidden, and have its scale and opacity altered
  • Sticky bars - Each bar can be anchored to any other bar
  • 120 action buttons, which can be setup in any number of bars
  • Both macro and key binding text on action buttons can be hidden
  • Customizable stance transitions for each bar

General Settings
  • To bring up the options menu: type /bongos menu
  • To unlock bars: uncheck the lock bars option in the main options menu
  • To hide or show a bar: unlock bars, then middle click or shift right click it
  • To move a bar: unlock bars, and then click and drag it with the left mouse button
  • To bring up a bar's configuration menu, right click it

Key Bindings
  • Bindings for the Bongos action bar should only be done via the bindings menu in Bongos
  • To bind keys, open the main options panel, and select the bindings option. Hover over a button, then press a key to bind it to that button

Action Bar Settings
  • Accessing general action bar options: open up the main options window (/bongos menu) and select the action bars panel
  • Adjusting the layout of a given bar: unlock bars and right click the bar you want to adjust to bring up its configuration menu
  • Moving buttons: Hold down the key for moving buttons (shift by default), and drag a button. Alternatively, unlock button positions by shift right clicking the mini map button, or unchecking the option in the main options menu
  • Making a bar bigger: You can increase the maximum size of a given bar by reducing the number of action bars. To do so, adjust the action bars slider on the action bar panel of the main options menu. This option will reset the settings of your action bars

Stances and Paging
  • Stances and paging are configured via a bar's right click menu. With bars unlocked, right click the bar you want to change,

Slash Commands
  • All commands start with either /bongos, /bob, or /bgs
  • <barList> can have a possible value of an actionbar number, menu, bags, pet. class, or all
  • You can also specify a group or range of bars, the command /bo scale 1-3 class 1.2 will scale action bars 1 2 3, and the class bar to 120% of their normal size.
  • /bongos - Shows the options menu, if present
  • /bongos lock - Toggles locking bars positions
  • /bongos show <barList> - Shows <barList>
  • /bongos hide <barList> - Hides <barList>
  • /bongos toggle <barList> - Toggles <barList>
  • /bongos scale <barList> <scale> - Sets the scale of <barList> to <scale>
  • /bongos setalpha <barList> <opacity> - Sets the opacity of <barList> to <opacity>
  • /bongos set <profile> - Sets the current character to use <profile>
  • /bongos copy <profile> - Copies all settings from <profile>
  • /bongos delete <profile> - Deletes <profile>
  • /bongos reset - Loads default settings
  • /bongos version - Displays what version of bongos you're running
  • /keybound - Toggles keybinding mode

Oh, alright.

Great mod, by the way. I always try various bar mods, but I always end up coming back to Bongos. Great job!

Heya
Can you please help me, i'm not sure if this is a glitch or not but i just updated bongos2 on my desktop from bongos2 v1.5 to bongos2 v1.7.5.

I noticed the other day when i installed v1.7.3beta on my laptop for the first time I had the full view of all the minimap buttons (map, +, - & titlebar.)

I've found that when i've updated to the newest one on this computer for some reason i cant view it.. =(

Can you pls advise me if it is something i'm doing wrong??

Thanks in anticipation for your help =)

Love this Mod as well as all the other mods in your repertoire.

Now would it be possible to add a fast cast feature in the Bongos castbar to allow for lag. Would be much appreciated .

Great Add-on

I really dig this add on. I noticed that If I configure a bar to have one column, so it's veritcal, and try to make a horizontal bar snap to the edge, it seems to insist on snapping to the center of the vertical bar. Is there any way to just make it snap to the nearest button? Does that make sense?

Feature request for tooltips:

Not sure if this would be useful for many people or how much coding it would take...Any way to make tooltips a per-bar setting? I like to have tooltips off, but I'd love to have it on for my petbar for mind control.

Or a way to possibly view tooltips if you hover over a button with a user-defined modifier (ie. Right-alt + hover = show tooltip).

The former version of Bongos had a nifty option to disable paging for bars which came in pretty handy for me since I do a lot of things with Shift-MMB.
Unuckily this also causes me to page my primary action bars a few times which can be critical in certain situations.

Is there any way to disable paging for certain bars or even disable it completely?
Right click a bar and mess with the paging option.

Well, technically, I didn't change the MapBar addon. I'm using the SquareMap "plugin" created by jaliborc - http://www.wowinterface.com/download...fo.php?id=7406

I updated to the latest Bongos and overwrote Bongos2_MapBar with the SquareMap option. The overlay didn't happen until 1.7.4.

Do you know exactly what's causing the issue? My only guess is some API change that MapBar AddOn (and only MapBar?) is using.

If you want to test it, try to open your honor and talent window at the same time. Disabling Bongos fixes the overlap issue.

This is with the latest and greatest version!

Re: Re: Quest item bug

OK thanks for that - I thought I tried both left and right clicking tbh but I wouldn't swear to it, I am on the next part of the quest now so I will try left-clicking this time
